Lost in Oregon

A great collection of photos of small towns, old buildings (Grass Valley, Dallas, Amity) and out-of-the-way main streets. For example, Leanne Houngninou writes: "Does any one remember Valsetz? The old logging town? We used to drive up there to eat dinner in the loggers cafeteria. That food was fantastic..... but more than that... the atmosphere and experience of eating with the loggers was so cool... for a 14yo girl anyway."

News and photos about an organization that operates trains between Garbaldi and Rockaway Beach in the summer months and special event trains throughout the year over the rest of the line. The line extends from the Tillamook Air Museum blimp hangar on the South side of Tillamook through Garibaldi, Rockaway Beach and Wheeler where the tracks turn to the East and head up into the coast range along the remote Nehalem and Salmonberry River canyons.
